Being a lazy, impatient, newbie, when my pond turned pea green I rushed out and bought the product Algorem. I topped up my 2000L pond with tap water (about 2% fresh water) and then the next morning I shook the bottle and pored in 100ml of Algorem (no dilution before addition at the prescribed 10ml:200L ratio). I inspected my pond ever hour or so and to my disappointment there was zero change in the clarity. The next morning I added an additional 50ml. Still no change. 4 days later I added 500g of salt (first ever salt addition to pond) yesterday afternoon. This morning I looked at my pond and it's still green. Reading other posts I see many people's fish died. Mine all seem quite happy. So I'm not sure 1. Why I saw no improvement after applying 50% too much or 2. Why others people's fish died.
My question is how do I safely get my water clear? I don't want to invest in a UV light. I'd value some advice.
Many thanks
